About the book
East of the main Lakeland fells lies a quieter, less visited landscape of ancient drove roads, sweeping ridgelines and hidden valleys. The 36 summits covered in this volume span the Kentmere, Haweswater and Ullswater valleys, from the broad plateau of High Street—the highest Roman road in England—and the celebrated Kentmere Horseshoe to the rarely visited eastern tops that offer genuine solitude within the Lake District National Park. This comprehensive guidebook covers every fell in the area with complete fell-by-fell coverage, HARVEY mapping, hand-drawn topos and panoramas for each summit. Clear guidance on difficulty throughout means walkers of all abilities can plan each ascent with confidence. Four ridge routes, including the Kentmere Horseshoe and the Martindale Round, link summits into rewarding longer days across the eastern fells, while valley base information for Haweswater, Kentmere, Patterdale, Pooley Bridge and surrounding centres helps you plan your visit. All routes are designed to protect the paths and landscapes of this UNESCO World Heritage Site. High Street and the Kentmere Horseshoe draw walkers east, but it is the quieter summits beyond that leave the lasting impression. This guidebook ensures you find every one of them. The Mardale and the Far East volume is one of eight in the Walking the Lake District Fells series, together covering all 230 fells across the Lake District National Park.
